BOOKING YOUR BAND AT ART BARWhat we book:Local indie, alternative, original music. How to get booked: Send a link to your MP3 file or electronic press kit (EPK) to booking@artbarsc.com. I'm an out of town band, how do I get booked: E-mail your link. If we like it enough, we'll have you play. We can't accommodate a lot of out of town acts, so your best bet is to trade a show with one of our Saturday night bands. See our music page for bands playing at Art Bar on Saturdays. IF YOU GET A BOOKING:1. Do not play another show in Columbia 21 days before or after a show booked at Art Bar. Ideally 28 days. If you play too often in Columbia, it will dilute your draw. This is a basic principal of supply and demand. If you've got too much supply (gigs) then you will have no demand (audience).2. All bands are expected to promote their show at least three weeks in advance, whether they are headlining or opening. Calling and emailing is the most effective form of advertising. Bring flyers to Art Bar 3 weeks prior to your show. See the media section for contacts for local press. Please submit the following to Art Bar webmaster webmaster@artbarsc.com:
PROMOTING YOUR SHOW:If you're a local band, please bring 10 full size fliers and hand bills by the club. We have cork boards throughout the club where you can put you fliers. Please flier at least two weeks prior to your show.If you're an out of town band, please mail posters to: Tim Bedford, Art Bar, 1211 Park St, Columbia, SC 29201, and put on the return address DATED MATERIAL, FLIERS ENCLOSED.
